Foodbank delivers 200 food packs

Wed, 27 Dec 2017

The Isle of Man Foodbank delivered twice as many food packs as last year to families in need over the Christmas period.

The organisation received donations of food as part of its Reverse Advent Calendar campaign - where locals are urged to put aside one item of food per day in the run up to Christmas.

Last year, the campaign resulted in 100 packages being delivered, but this year around 200 have been distributed across the Island.

The charity's northern hub is open for drop offs between 9am and 4.30pm today, and is appealing for those with left over food from Christmas to consider making a donation.
